Answer:

The tomato originated in the South American Andes and its use as a food originated in Mexico and spread throughout the world following the Spanish colonization of the Americas.

The Potatoes originated in the South American Indian Incas.

Explanation:

The potatoes are a starchy, tuberous crop from the perennial nightshade Solanum tuberosum. Incas learned to preserve this durable veggie for storage by dehydrating and mashing them into a substance called chuñu. They use to store it for up to 10 years, and it provided great insurance against crop failures. It wasn’t until the mid-sixteenth century that potatoes would venture across the seas to Europe.

The tomato is the edible, red fruit/berry (Solanum Lycopersicum).  Tomatoes began as wild plants in the Andes, growing in parts of Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Centuries of planting, growing, and saving tomato seeds resulted in the fruit we recognize today, spreading through the Americas, then to Europe, and eventually around the globe.
